A Throwback to McDonalds 1965 in Oaklandhttp://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m21336.ashx(c) Roadfood.com Discussion Board30RE: A Throwback to McDonalds 1965 in Oakland (capnhank)Wow! I just got through posting about Kwik Way on the In'n'Out thread!<br>I thought it was one of those &quot;best kept secret&quot; places, where the tourists are afraid to get out of their rental cars. However, the Lake Merritt location is much nicer than the one at 23rd and Telegraph. When I lived in Oakland, we called it &quot;Sick Way&quot;, but it was strictly complimentary. A couple of triple cheeses, a large fries and a shake could seriously lay you up for a day or two. As I said in my other post, it's like eating a greased croquet ball, only delicious! Did you notice that the guys in the kitchen wear plastic booties to protect their shoes? Lard indeed.<br><img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/biggrin.gif" alt="" data-smiley="<img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/biggrin.gif" alt="" data-smiley="[:D]" />" />http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m21336.ashxFindPost/21337Wed, 10 Sep 2003 16:43:42 GMTA Throwback to McDonalds 1965 in Oakland (peppertree)A friend of mine in Oakland took me to a food stand with two walk up windows across the street from a lake. It was called Quick Way. No place to sit and no inside restaurant.<br><br>This place had burgers, fries and shakes that tasted just like what I had in McDonalds in the mid-sixties. In Brooklyn we ate at a McDonalds on Nostrand Ave. near Avenue V which was the only one around for a few years.<br><br>I was able to watch the food prepared. In the back against the wall, I saw a box against the wall and on the side in big letters, it said LARD.<br><br>Has anyone else experienced a lunch or dinner at Quick Way by Lake Park in Oakland? If not, I reccommend it.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m21336.ashxFindPost/21336Thu, 26 Jun 2003 17:34:52 GMT
